I have a weird issue when trying to copy multiple files from pc to phone, using an USB cable. In about 95% of cases, the copy process gets stuck at a random file... ("Copying..." and the file name is displayed meanwhile). After some time I get an error message "Cannot copy file <file name> . The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected. Stop copying? / Skip this file / Cancel" . The file is always a different one.
The more files I try to copy, bigger the chances to fail. If I choose Skip, the copy continues but chances are it will get stuck at another file and so on.
Files are pictures, movies mp3s, it doesnt't seem to matter.
For the moment, the workaround is to repeat the copy process until the number of files in destination matches the source...
I can copy just fine anything (lots and lots of GB) from phone to PC, using the same USB cable, without adjusting it, before and after the failed copy from pc to phone.
Phone is Samsung S10e up to date
PC is a Windows 7 x64, all 4 USB ports behave the same.
USB cable looks fine as far as I can tell
I wonder if someone experienced something similar or has some idea on what to check.
For the next week I am limited to the hardware mentioned above.
What prog you use to copy?
Update:
Changed cable, no difference
Tried on another win7, same behaviour (error copying to phone, on random files)
Tried on win 10, copy from phone fine, copy to phone does not show error, yet randomly some files are not copied to phone (?!).
I used windows explorer to copy.

Make sure you get a high quality cable. Post a link to where you purchased your cables to warn others ^^
Both of them are original Samsung cables.

wow.
Having experienced similar troubles copying from PC (Win10 x64) to previous phones (S4mini) via USB cable, I now avoid this method. Instead, I copy files from PC to 64gig microSDcard in a USB thumb drive adaptor. Then I put the card into S10e and sometimes copy from card to internal storage. It's actually faster this way than from PC directly to S10e internal storage, especially when I want the files on both of my S10e's. This phone is really fast moving files from its external to internal storage.

The device gets detected easily in mtp mode on original usb cable. I can open files and copy to pc (windows 7x64) but I cannot for sake of nothing, copy any files to my note 2. Only found ftp filezilla method working, but I want to do normal cable mass storage file transferring like I did on my desire z.
I just have to get sd card?
btw. Is using filezilla dangerous? I can see all the files which are on my phone (only entering sd memory tho - internal 16gb)
No help?
Okay so I have an OTG adapter.
I try one USB Flash Drive which works fine currently, but my other, the one I had just spent all night uploading files too, comes up as corrupted when I plug it in.
It still works just fine in my computer, no errors found, so I don't know what's wrong.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Without reformatting.
Misleading title - you say corrupted SD card but are talking about using an OTG adapter.
In any case if you're talking about a USB flash drive or a card you're reading via an adapter: If it were me and as you have stated - it works fine on the computer - then I'd copy all the files off to my hard drive using a computer, format the flash drive/card in exFAT format on the computer and then copy the files back onto it using the computer . . and then test it on the device via USB OTG. You could just copy a folder or two onto the reformatted flash drive first just to test to see if things are going to work as expected before going through all of the effort of copying everything.
I've installed this rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-android-nougat-7-0-beta-3-zpkk-odex-t3507499
Everything goes fine. Plug in my USB, phone is detected, SD is detected. Phone gives me the options it should for using the USB connection.
I go to Windows Explorer, open a window for the phone's SD card and one for the directory I wish to move files from...drag and drop...windows error sound with no files being moved and no error message.
Same thing with cut and paste. Yet, I can manipulate files on the SD Card with Windows Explorer, including creating directories. I've disabled AV and all other culprits I can imagine.
Does anyone have advice? Using SendAnywhere is ok, but I prefer the direct USB connection for moving large files.
Hi
When I try copy a file with otg cable its been copy but it's unusable.i tried another otg cable but same result.both otg cables work with note 5.
I tried another file manager another flash memory but it's failed.
I can't copy 2 gb or more files on PC and it's don't start.
I used anther cable and PC but it's failed.(drivers are installed)
make sure that both the source and the target window are open through the whole copying process, otherwise it will not finish successfully.
Both are open
Got about 27GB of mp3 files on my Windows 10 Laptop. Attempted to copy mp3 files off Windows 10 Laptop to my S8 and here are some of the things I experienced....
1. I attempted to copy all my music, which include folders and files. Wouldn't copy all the music/files.
2. Tried to copy again and it doesn't even try to copy the files.
3. Some of the folders and files just disappeared.
4. I tried the process several times and it just seem broken
Anyways, just wondering how to do this, or what I am missing.
The laptop is updated and drivers too, and my S8 Active is running Oreo fwiw.
TY

Maybe your phone needs more memory? I would've done it folder by folder see if it pops up on the phone

I have over 30GB on my phone, and over 100GB free on my 256GB Samsung SD Card (new and fast). Tried both.

Check to see if you are using USB 3.0 ports They cause a lot of issues with file transfer and odin flashed
USB 2.0 ports are recommended
I set USB debugging in the Developer Options and things are working better. Had no idea about that one.
